JESSE WATTERS (CO-HOST): We have to grow up. Can we grow up? I mean, there's going to be fatalities in law enforcement situations, especially when there's foreign fugitives who are resisting and running away. I'd say Trump's almost batting a thousand if you calculate this.

...

We can't work with these people, and we know why they're doing it. We used to win landslide elections in this country. Remember Nixon? Remember Reagan? 49 out of the 50 states? Why? All of a sudden we bring in all this foreign-born population, Democrats are all of a sudden competitive. They didn't change how persuasive they were. They just imported everybody that lived outside of the country into the country, and now it's closer. That's why they want them here no matter if they commit crimes or not.
